Key Ingredients:
- Valine: Is an essential amino acid that assists in the prevention of muscle breakdown because it provides the muscles with additional glucose required for energy production.
- Isoleucine: Is an amino acid which enhances endurance and assists with muscle recovery.
- Leucine: Is an essential amino acid important for various metabolic reactions and protein synthesis. This amino acid regulates blood sugar levels, enhances growth and promotes the recovery of bones and muscle tissues.
- Arginine: Is an essential amino acid that regulates many metabolic functions where it serves as a precursor for the synthesis of protein and creatine. It is also the compound in the body that makes nitric oxide. Nitric oxide promotes the perpetual pump and extends the time frame of vasodilation. It also increases insulin secretion and is converted to urea in the liver by arginase.
- Beta alanine: Is known as a non-essential amino acid which is converted inside the body into a natural chemical compound known as carnosine. Carnosine has an important role in normal functioning of the body including the adequate functioning and development of the muscles, heart and many other organs. Carnosine increases physical endurance by providing electrical nerve signals to the required muscle groups. The fundamental role of beta alanine once conversion has occurred is to provide a barrier and reduce the accumulation of acidic residue during a workout. This assists in the reduction of lactic acid accumulation which contributes to a reduction in muscle fatigue. Beta alanine is the compound that causes the tingling sensation experienced after consuming a pre-workout.
- Green Tree extract: Acts as a powerful fat burner and antioxidant. Green tree extract includes important compound which maintain the activity of adrenaline and catecholamine’s which are combined to enhance fat loss. It also includes catechins which enhances thermogenesis which enhances weight loss.
- Green coffee extract: Is actually just raw ground coffee beans but are highly beneficial for the body. Coffee beans are high in caffeine which enhances energy, mental alertness and acts as a diuretic. It may also assist in improving circulating, muscle tone and stabilize blood sugar levels.
